2.14.3.4 POINTER or ANY variable for transfer to FC or FB
With version 1 or later of STEP7 it is possible to define a POINTER or an ANY in
VAR_TEMP. The following two examples show how an ANY can be supplied.
1. Several ANY parameters are defined in an FB (FC). A specific ANY parameter must now
be chosen from a selection list for transfer to another FB (FC). This can only be done by
means of an ANY in VAR_TEMP. 1 to 4 can be set in parameter "WhichAny" in order to
select Addr1 to Addr4.
